In Taipei, Wang Guoruijia, who had just gotten a lot of wealth from Sa Zhenbing and Zhu Yuan, rewarded Zhu Yuan and Sa Zhenbing, and immediately received a telegram from the West Borneo Military Region, that is, the news that Ma Junhui, the former commander-in-chief of the West Borneo Military Region, had successfully annihilated 20,000 enemies and disabled a large number of enemy cavalry, and they were also extremely happy. Because this is a double happiness, and this also shows that the Spaniards are simply no match for Taiwan, and then they cannot be able to defeat Taiwan's army.

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll send a telegram to tell Ma Junhui that we have to clean them up properly, and if they refuse to surrender, then we will completely annihilate them." Wang Guorui said.

However, at this time, Natasha came immediately and said, "Commander, Qin Hui has news!" ”

Natasha has been in the base for a long time during this time, and now that there is news in the base, he will immediately come over to inform Wang Guorui.

"Qin Hui? Then I'll go right over! Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui had to pay attention to it, because Qin Hui was the news from Akashi Genjiro, and the news delivered by Akashi Genjiro must be very important, and Wang Guorui had to pay attention to it. Therefore, Wang Guorui must study and study well to avoid missing any important news.

Coming to the base, Natasha took the initiative to introduce the chief: "Commander, this time Akashi Genjiro told us that their Japanese Army Staff Headquarters had obtained a news that the Spaniards had transferred, that is, about the method of cracking our tactics. Boris, the general of the Spaniards, fired heavily at Taiwan, and then he thought of a way, that is, a method of charging in front of an armored fighting vehicle and then covering the infantry charge. And this is actually just a tactical method of step-to-tank coordination. And the Spanish government informed the governments of this method of cracking our tactics, and then the governments of the world took it very seriously and began to prepare to start developing tanks. And the Japanese government has also begun to invest in the research and development of tanks, and this work is mainly responsible for the staff headquarters, so after Akashi Motojiro got the news, he immediately sent it over! ”

Wang Guorui couldn't help but sigh deeply, he didn't expect that these Spaniards were really cunning enough. I actually came up with the idea of using tanks to coordinate infantry and tanks, so that the infantry could charge into the enemy's trenches. And this tactic is actually only available in the First World War, but he is currently using trench warfare, which naturally makes the enemy want to crack it. And it turned out to be really the same as in the original history, giving the enemy the idea of building tanks. And it's not that hard to build a tank. Generally speaking, as long as there is an engine with enough power and torque, it is naturally not a big problem.

And Wang Guorui knows that the diesel engine has been invented, in fact, it is not far from the invention of the tank, I am afraid that at most in a year or two, then all countries can also make tanks. Of course. This tank is also to be tested in actual combat, and at the moment they have no way to conduct actual combat testing. However, as a later generation, Wang Guorui certainly knew that tanks could stand the test of actual combat, and with tanks, they could completely break through the firepower network deployed by themselves, and then cover the infantry for a charge. Step-Tan coordination is not a very difficult method, but it is very simple, at least not very difficult for professional soldiers.

And as the enemy invents the tank, the kingdom will have to change it immediately, and he must also have a tank. There are even certain changes in tactics, only to change tactics. That's what makes the rest of the battle smoother. If the tactics cannot keep pace with the times, then this will inevitably cause foreign devils to catch up with them and then defeat themselves. This is something that Wang Guorui will never be able to tolerate, after all, if this happens, it will definitely make his plan unrealizable. And they are improving, and other foreign devils are also making progress under their own stimulation. And the best catalyst for the technology of war, although war is destroying civilization, it can also make the civilization of science and technology stronger and stronger, and finally create a better civilization. Now that the foreign devil has thought of a way to crack his own tactics, Wang Guorui must also start preparing.

Wang Guorui came to the scientific research institute of the General Armament Department near the Red Police base, and then began to check how the work was going here. Because this is the place that Wang Guorui values the most. It is related to Taiwan's weapons and equipment scientific research program.

"Tank R&D team, how are your tank plans?" Wang Guorui asked.

And this tank R&D group is actually Wang Guorui's first tank R&D group immediately after the development of automobiles. And this tank research and development group is dedicated to the development of tanks. In order to be able to develop tanks, combat vehicles and other weapons in the future. Because Wang Guorui is a traverser, he naturally knows how the mode of the next war will change, for example, this tank and combat vehicle will inevitably cause a change in the mode of war, and the next war will change from manpower to mechanized war, and the war will enter the era of mechanization.

Wang Guorui hopes that mechanized warfare will be led by Chinese, so that China can continue to reach the peak of war technology. And then to get huge benefits for China. That's why Wang Guorui quickly set up a tank research and development team, hoping that they can do their best to develop tanks, so that they can maintain their tactics to the lead. You must know that the Yankees of later generations will not use the methods of using one generation, developing one generation, and exploring one generation to develop aircraft? Aircraft also affect tactics, and on the whole, the Americans actually hope to maintain a tactical lead and then gain the right to dominate the battlefield.

And Wang Guorui also plans to do this, planning to use one set of tactics, then develop the next set of tactical equipment, and finally explore further tactics. At present, Wang Guorui is developing the beginning of mechanized warfare, which is naturally the first thing to do is to develop tanks.

Originally, Wang Guorui was not in a hurry to develop this tank, but now that the foreign devil actually thought of this tank, Wang Guorui naturally had to be anxious. If you're not in a hurry, you're probably going to be doomed. So Wang Guorui couldn't help but come over and urge him personally, if he didn't urge it, it would be really troublesome.

"Lord Wang, our tank R&D team has already come up with some tank plans, do you want to review them?" The head of the tank R&D group asked.

Wang Guorui shook his head and said, "No, I won't watch it, because I don't have to look at it, and I know if you can develop it." ”

Of course, Wang Guorui doesn't need to look at it, because if the tank they developed can be recognized by the system, it will definitely prompt Wang Guorui. And now it has not been able to develop a tank that has been recognized by the system, so Wang Guorui does not know this at all, and Wang Guorui has no news of the system at all. So Wang Guorui knew that they had not been able to develop it, at least not a tank that was systematically recognized. If it can be developed, the tank factory will definitely be able to produce it.

"Where is the difficulty of your research and development?" Wang Guorui couldn't help but ask.

Although Wang Guorui is anxious about the tank, he also knows that research and development is not so easy. And Wang Guorui's biggest concern at the moment is that these scientists have reached a dead end, so he can't help but come out and ask. Although Wang Guorui is not a professional scientist, he has the experience of later generations and knows which direction the tank should be developed. If the R&D direction is wrong, it will not work. So he naturally has to find a way to solve this problem, if he can use his knowledge in later generations to help them, then Wang Guorui will not be stingy. After all, at present, we have to do our best to get a tank, and we have to get the tank out of scratch, so that Wang Guorui can have a tank. It has to be something that has to have, not something that goes for it. As long as you have tanks, you can train tank crews and develop tanks!

"Lord Wang, our biggest problem at the moment is the problem of the engine. I wanted to use the steam engine as the starting device for the tank, but I found that the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine was too low to propel the tank. The engine was either too big to fit in a tank that was too small. After all, the tank is too small, and in such a small space, there must not only be an engine, but also artillery, machine guns, shells, bullets and other things, and if the steam engine occupies too much space, then human beings will not be able to enter it to fight. ”

"We switched to a diesel engine, which has a high torque and a higher load capacity. However, we still found that the power of this diesel engine was not high enough, and the power of the current diesel engine was not enough to have a 40 mm caliber gun and four machine guns according to the previous general design. Of course, if it is only used as a carry forward, there is no problem, but we found that if the cannon is fired, the huge recoil will cause a great load on the entire diesel engine, so that the diesel engine is easily damaged. If you fire every time, it will have to be repaired again after a while, so the reliability is not good. The current diesel engine is not yet able to withstand such a large load. ”

When this technician began to explain the problems encountered by the tank, Wang Guorui also probably knew that it was stuck in the diesel engine and not somewhere else. The diesel engine is unreliable and cannot effectively support the application of artillery, so this is the reason why the tank development has fallen into a state of stuckness, and finally it is impossible to develop a tank that is recognized by the system. In this case, Wang Guorui can only change the technical standards, and if the technical standards are not changed, I am afraid that it will not be able to be produced at all. (To be continued.) )
